Interiors

“In the internal arrangement nothing appears to have been spared to make the buildings as perfect as possible. The wants of the government and its officials have been most carefully studied by the architects, and when all is completed, the beauty of the situation, combined with the elegance of the buildings, will enable the capital of Canada to compare with any in the world.”

from Hand Book to the Parliamentary and Departmental Buildings, Canada, by Joseph Bureau (1867)
